Problem 4.2 and Follow Up
Karen wants to buy a stove from the Unlimited Store on an installment plane. The stove costs $305.
A. Write an equation you could solve to find the number of months it will take Karen to pay for the stove.
305=15x+30
-30+ 305= 15x+30-30
275=15x
275=15x
15 15
X=18.3 It will take her 18.3 months to pay for the stove.
B. Solve your equation using the symbolic method, how long will it take Karen to pay for the stove?
305=15x+30
-30+ 305= 15x+30-30
275=15x
275=15x
15 15
X=18.3 It will take her 18.3 months to pay for the stove.

1. In a-d use the symbolic method to solve the equation for x, check your answers.
a. 175=2.5x b. 64=19+3x
-2.5/175=2.5x/2.5 -19+64=19-19+3x
